Max Planck was remarkably musical.
He was an accomplished pianist, played the organ and cello, possessed absolute pitch, and even composed songs and a complete operetta while he was a student.
Later, his home in Berlin became a regular meeting place for chamber music.
Albert Einstein was among those who joined him.
In a letter dated 16 November 1916, Lise Meitner described an evening at Planck’s home where Schubert and Beethoven trios were performed, with Planck at the piano and Einstein playing the violin.

Johann Bernoulli posed the problem to the mathematicians of Europe in 1696; it remains vital today in quantum mechanics and many other fields.
If a ball is to roll down a ramp which connects two points, what must be the shape of the ramp's curve, such that the descent time is a minimum?
Intuition says that it should be a straight line. That would minimize the distance, but the minimum time happens when the ramp curve is a cycloid.
